PTI - Jan 2013

I love the chaulkboard technique from a couple of Make It Monday Challenges back, so decided to use it  paired with this month's "Black Backgrounds"  card challenge for this month's 


I used Neon Blue embossing power by Zing  on my flower image, but it didn't adhere as well as I thought it would   :(   The White embossing powder really shows up pretty well.

Cardstock:  Base card is light grey by DCWV; True Black by PTI
Stamps:  Spiral Bouquet by PTI sentiment by Inique Boutique
Tools:  Swiss Dot embossing folder by Cuttlebug; Corner Rounder by EKSuccess

    Helen - Another lovely card my dear. That blue is so striking against the black! Love it! I sure have struggled with embossing on black today though! Not my favorite technique! LOL!!!

    I have also had problems with Zing, but many love it. It looks great here, with this technique. Great contrast and a fun card.

    Two for two. ;-) I love your chalkboard technique here in these perfect colors. So sweet with the polka dots in the background, too.
